The hotel is lovely, the rooftop and room was outstanding. The only downfall is the food at the restaurant, by far the worst food I ate in Colombia. I have to mushroom risotto, it was terrible.. and my friend had. The steak which was also terrible. The bread and butter was delicious. The food at breakfast on the roofdeck was delish. The chef should be in the restaurant

The best hotel in Medellin. Far superior to Click Clack or Charlee. Restaurant is excellent but pricey. The only negative is the menu online for room service doesn’t exist. When you go online the menu shown is the downstairs bar menu and they give you no directory in the room to call the front desk or room service. So unless your psychic you have to go to the front desk to ask for a directory

Great and no issues. The only inconveniencewas that hhe restaurant at the first floor wasn't part of hhe hotel and because of tha there was no way to charge to the room, so i has ho go back to the room for the card wen usually restaurants and other services within a hotel premises are available to do a room charge.

An amazing experience

Absolutely loved my stay at Hotel El Zarzo in El Poblado, Medellín! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfectly reflecting the vibrant spirit of the city. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable experience, always with a friendly smile and helpful recommendations. The rooms are beautifully decorated, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. I especially appreciated the attention to detail, from the plush bedding to the stunning views of the surrounding area. The hotel's location is fantastic, nestled in a lively neighborhood with plenty of dining, shopping, and nightlife options just a short walk away. The breakfast was a delightful start to the day, featuring a variety of fresh, local options. I also enjoyed the hotel’s tranquil garden area, a perfect spot to unwind. Overall, Hotel El Zarzo is a gem in Medellín, offering a perfect blend of comfort, style, and hospitality. I can't wait to return! Highly recommended!
